Getting to know: Prof. David Green

October 6, 2010 at 3:29 pm

David Green is a professor in the Core Curriculum in Boston University. He provides inspiration not only for Core students, but for students in the CAS Writing Program as well. He is also the faculty advisor for the Core theatre group, Calliope. Just this past spring, Boston-based Pen & Anvil Press published David Green’s most book, The Garden of Love and Other Stories. There have been many positive reviews, including this one by Christopher M. Ohge:

Overall, the patient reader will find pleasure in these superb romantic meditations on a world filled with things, decay, and memories. In the spirit of Blake, the power of the imagination is celebrated; and, in the spirit of Samuel Beckett, a feeling of doom lurks beneath these well-structured and concise sentences.

“Sometime of the Night” is a story from the same collection, and deals with many of the themes encountered in the Core — identity, home, imagination, even Penelope’s dream of the eagle from The Odyssey.

The Core Blog is a hub for information and media related to the CAS Core Curriculum at Boston University. It will be updated regularly, with photo galleries, interviews, links to related reading online, news of events or activities, and other kinds of content that help connect our Core people—prospective, current, and former students—with each other.
You can stop by here once a week to scroll through the posts, or make this your homepage in order to keep your finger on the pulse of the Core. Either way, we hope you find this to be a pleasant way to strengthen your connection with the great people, the great books, and the great questions we encounter in the Core.
